Maytag Top-Load Agitator Washer vs Maytag 4.2 cu. ft. Top-Load Washer

These are the same Maytag platform with one real difference: the removable agitator. The B model lets you lift the agitator out for bulky items like comforters and blankets, then drop it back in for heavy soil. The A model keeps a fixed power agitator with 360-degree wash action. Both share the 4.2 cu. ft. drum, Deep Fill, Sanitize with Oxi, Auto Sensing, the 3-knob console and the 10-year limited parts warranty on the drive motor and wash basket. Owners of this Maytag line praise the stain fighting and simple controls and note the lack of a window and no steam.

• Choose the Maytag agitator washer if you mostly wash everyday loads and heavy soil and want the fixed power agitator without fussing over a removable part.
• Choose the Maytag 2-in-1 removable agitator washer if you wash bulky items like comforters and blankets alongside tough stains and want the option to pull the agitator out.
